[WIP] – Pumpkin contest [FINISHED]

[Geoffrey ORBAN]

Ok now that I’m back home, I could work on it a little bit.

I think I’m not going to work on this piece for a lot of time, I’m getting saturated. Next step is probably the compositing.

I’ve already done a quick test with photoshop.

@nabro You have a pretty cool scene going on there. I like the owl in the background, it’s a nice trade off form the car lights.

I consider my participation as finished.

Some things could be better but I don’t have the motivation to keep working on it.

That’s time to focus on learning Blender again during my free time.

@nabro Cool end result! This has come a long way since you started 😄 May the best pumpkin win! 🎃

@nabro could you tell me what was your final render time with volumetrics? I’m finding my comp going veeeeeeryyy slow with that option on.

[smurfmier1985]

@dragonice69 volumetrics is super slow in Cycles, so probably your render time is normal, sadly.. it’s superrr fast in eevee though if you want to try that 😉

@smurfmier1985 oh. good to know. Would you have any video recomendation? Or is it simple enouth that I should got it by my self?

[smurfmier1985]

@dragonice69 It’s almost the same as in 2.79, though there is a new node in 2.8 to make it easier (principled volume shader).

These videos helped me understand volumetrics better:

@dragonice69 Hello, just to be sure we are talking of the same thing.

What I did is I selected the Volume Scatter option in the world tab, within the Volume section, I then adapted my settings.

For the swirls in the fog, It’s just a picture I overlayed in compositing.

Finally, the render time was huge on my computer, something like 1d and 20 h…

Therefore I used the free renderfarm sheepit to render my picture, there It took something like 1h30 maybe 2, I can’t remember.
